How To Stop Somebody From Drinking Alcohol?

hey, my girlfriend and I are 19 and she just started drinking alcohol and barely drank at all, literally like 5 sips. But the thought of it makes me nauseous and I can't stand it. It is making me sick and pushing us apart. I have always hated drinking and told her that I didn't want her to drink and that it bothered me beyond belief but she drank anyways. What can I do?

Addiction Medicine Specialist 's  Response
first, explore what a small amount of alcohol represents to you, and how much alcohol you drink.
This is probably not a legal activity and that can be an issue. It's actually enforced. If there is any sign of alcohol use by someone underage who is driving it goes really badly and requires a lawyer and becomes costly quickly.
Otherwise, 5 sips is not a lot of alcohol.
